A taste of Shoreditch… in Kings Cross!
The Big Chill House is a large Victorian Pub in the heart of London's King's Cross. Its recent restyling has left the locals and travellers gawping through its huge windows, in complete surprise! The team behind the Big Chill brand have set to work and created a super cool space for everyone to enjoy and one where you can celebrate The Big Chill festival spirit, all year round!
Enjoy some breakfast with friends (or over business) in the expansive arts café on the ground floor, a pub lunch in the upstairs study room, a cocktail on the terrace, or why not tumble down at the weekend for a thumping night of Big Chill music.
The drinks range is broad and all the best brands are listed. Both breakfast and lunch menus use all the finest ingredients and there are always offers and discounts to grab off the website and Facebook.
The music policy is diverse, representing all aspects you'd associate with the Big Chill festival wrapped up in a forward-thinking style you'd expect from one of London's leading music venues. Each week sees a selection of block-rocking DJs hand-picked, by our programming team, for their ability to deliver nothing but good vibes on the dance floor.
Big Chill House has pretty much everything you could want... freshly roasted morning coffee, free wifi in the cafe area, cool drinks on the sunny terrace or a late night boogie on the dance floor!

All In London Review
A little bit of everything - restaurant, club and breakfast bar!
It’s a little bit of everything- restaurant, club, breakfast bar even and with a reinvented drawing room on the second floor there’s some panache to it all. Food focuses on a burger menu that mixes the beef into various incarnations, the Mexican with jalapenos and avocado a highlight, as well as bar snacks that shun the stale cheese sandwich approach for some reason and head toward fried baby squid and courgette fries. Sensible. The wine is reasonable but the selection of draught beer is average with Budvar the most exciting.
Music comes from DJs and the occasional live set and takes in anything you can dance to from Afro-beat to hip-hop and whereas during lunchtimes you’ll find plenty of space the evening ramps up and packs out most nights so get in early or face bar mass and an irritating way to start out. Thumbs up.

Best For
Bars and Pubs with great outdoor areas
Is there a better way to spend an afternoon in London than sat outside a pub on uncomfortable furniture whilst getting sun burnt?
Enjoy a drink on London's best rooftops
Drinkies, a great view... what else you could possibly need?
The thing with the Big Chill venues is that they’re both a world away from the eponymous festival. However, despite the rowdy nature of the club nights at this Kings Cross emporium of fun, there’s always the rooftop escape. The terrace gets BUSY in summer but what’s a little shoulder rubbing between friends?
All night long: London's best after-hours bars
After-hours bars make you feel like a dirty rotten stop-out... especially on a school night.
Falling somewhere between bar and club, The Big Chill House makes our list of favourite late night bars because it can offer you the best of both. Find a quiet corner and talk in hushed tones, or alternatively find a space and dance your heart out. We do both and so should you. Located in Kings Cross I has the benefit of yet more clubs nearby should you choose to turn your night into the next morning.
